Plato foundation
Building partnerships with impact
Plato Foundation helps ambitious community organisations thrive by tapping into our commercial and creative thinking, and connecting with our network of partner businesses to drive opportunities for success.
Supporting Ōtautahi
Since we began in 2007, Plato has strived to support the communities we live in and work with. Locally, we are proud to employ 50 people and invest in the city of Ōtautahi Christchurch.
Over the years, we’ve also used our skills and resources to help amplify the brand and marketing efforts of many charitable organisations and initiatives.

Our strategic partnership with Māia Health
We are proud of our strategic partnership with Māia Health Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation playing a crucial role in enhancing Canterbury’s healthcare system. Charities these days have to fight hard to stand out so this partnership will see Māia Health Foundation leverage our expertise to amplify and propel their impact - attracting new partners and fostering deeper connections with supporters.
Plato’s collaboration with Māia aligns with our philanthropic mission to empower ambitious community organisations. We’re proud to be able to build partnerships like this that go beyond sponsorship to create sustainable, purpose-driven relationships that deliver greater impact.
A high performance partnership
We are thrilled to be strategic partners with the mighty Crusaders.
This partnership marks a powerful collaboration that will see us join forces with this iconic team to deliver innovative digital, strategic, and creative outputs that push boundaries and strengthen connections with their fans and the wider community.
For us, this partnership is about more than sponsorship. It’s about aligning with organisations that share our values, our passion for excellence, and our deep commitment to the local community – and are onboard to work with us in bringing creativity, strategy, and engagement to new heights.
